You can scale PG horizontally with read replicas. Many frameworks support this (rails, for example: https://dev.to/schwad/how-to-use-horizontal-sharding-in-rail... )

I don't know your business but scaling to 1TB of data (not just files, but actual rows in a database) seems weird. Feel free to prove me wrong (I'm just some person on the internet, after all), but I've seen many startups fool around with over architecting instead of building features users want.

If, on the other hand, you're positive you're going to need to handle that kind of data from the start, I'd read up on real life architectures that are similar to yours: http://highscalability.squarespace.com/blog/category/example
Even with prioritized IOPS I once had to resort to RAID0 and replicas to get needed performance under budget on EBS. Probably should have just bumped instance size and used local storage.

The question is "how"? If you are indeed targeted by state-level attackers, there should be more precautions because you are actively attacked. However, I have stated that "there are low-hanging fruits". I have written up a more extensive reply (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=25914440) but the short answer is that you can actually prevent code execution on arbitrary areas on Windows. Upon further research, I now know that there is an analogous equivalent (and maybe competition) for Linux: AppArmor and SELinux. However, I will still see someone replying "there is no solution to this mess" despite having a solution, just unused by developers. It is made harder by other developers who by their choice makes security-conscious developers' lives harder.

Yes, you're correct on that. But abandoning reliable-but-unused security for shiny new thing seems wrong on so many levels.

In small doses, perhaps.

After having to maintain some larger M4 macro collections (for Autoconf and the Autoconf Archive), as well as using it in some work projects for code generation, I'd have to say that maintenance and testing are hard. Quoting can be painful. And it has a number of annoying limitations. In retrospect, I think it was a bad choice, and I wouldn't choose to use it again. Trying to understand what's going on with multiple levels of nested macro expansions is painful, particularly when you can't directly introspect all the intermediate expansions.

When it comes to M4 usage within Autoconf, I'd happily see it dropped entirely in favour of shell functions. It's a historical implementation detail which should have been removed over a decade ago.

Making the analytics dashboard public for my SaaS after 6 months
I launched a remote job board on the 1st of Jun, 2020 on ProductHunt. It hit #4 at the end of the day, but we didn't get featured on Twitter or anywhere else. It's no wonder since it was a lousy launch. I didn't have a subscribe form at the time to start building an audience, and it was my first launch ever. I could've prepared better for it. You live and learn.

6 months in, I pivoted the idea, and now I'm offering a free plan where you can post a 10-day job post for free each month, and $199/month flat for unlimited job posts. And since we've gone through the crazy of 2020, I want to celebrate 2021, by offering a 50% discount to the first companies getting the unlimited plan.

I want to see if it's possible to build a job board without paying for ads, indexing other job posting platforms, or other growth hacks, just purely organic.

Transparency is important to me, so I thought it would be helpful for leads to know how much traffic I have if they want to post a job on the platform. That's why I'm making the analytics dashboard public: https://app.usefathom.com/share/kxhjtfau/fairremote.com

The infrastructure costs are very low so I can keep them running forever ($59/mo).

Right now I'm focusing on content, and building an audience via HackerNews, Twitter, and the blog. Anything else worth trying?

Why does an edit button not make sense for a service like Twitter? How would it be abused?

Deleting and reposting hurts and would eliminate engagement statistics.

From a product experience, edited tweets, similar to Slack, could show an "(edited)" that when clicked on let's a user see the version history. That way, it can't be abused, but does allow for minor typos (e.g. https://twitter.com/sir/status/1353737949729468416)

For TV/film, it's probably one of the most accurate that I've seen. There are some things that are obviously for drama and visual effect though.

Some examples (very low spoilers but you've been warned):

------------------------------

------------------------------

1. In one of the first episodes, a couple characters design up a circuit to step through the values of an EEPROM to read off the value of each address. They use a series of 8 LEDs and convert the binary value to decimal in their head and then write it down on paper. Even if you were going to do something very manual like that you would want to use a 7-segment LED and driver so you could at least just write down the hex value.

2. One of the characters writes some firmware in assembler, and other characters keep saying that their code is "beautiful" and "art".

3. Later on in the series, some of the characters run an online game company and run a distributed game server on networked IBM XTs. They don't actually say if they're using some custom OS or how the accomplished that, but that also isn't the point of those episodes either.

4. There are brief flashes of assembler, basic, and C on a computer screen and most of it seems to be at least slightly incorrect.

All of that being said, I would give it a B+ for technical accuracy - and an A for being an awesome show.
In 2016 I was expecting some sane defaults like MySQL would have arrived by 2018 or 2019.

Looks like 2021 isn't that much different to 2016. There are work being done, but doesn't seems to be anywhere close to the level of MySQL.
Its not about the end. Its about the journey. The way its done in HACF seems brutal. Like I can't smile at any given moment. [EDIT: in Breaking Bad] the mishaps do not feel immediate, don't feel like a punishment. There are real moments of victory, which are expanded and deliberated upon. In Halt and catch fire I feel like the makers are afraid of their characters being happier than a day.
Consider John Deere tractors or other automobiles, to start. Also $500+ phones and computers.

Also, right to repair generally includes right to modify and customize, e.g. flash your own firmware or so on.

I wonder when using a distributed database (like CockroachDB) will be the default for new applications. Right now it seems that they are less feature and harder to set up than traditional RDBMSes but I can only assume that this gap will narrow and at some point in the future things will be "scalable by default". (Of course no DB is going to prevent all ways to shoot yourself in the foot)
It's easy enough to mistune a 32768Hz clock crystal by shitty electronics engineering, unfortunately :/

50Hz might have temporary variations, but it's controlled so that over a longer period of time, you always get the correct number of cycles, e.g. 180000 in an hour.

This also means that going off the 50Hz power grid theoretically has better (or even perfect) long-term accuracy. Also means that if you adjusted your clock for this separation event, you'll have to adjust it back :D

Cmake is only useful in very limited scenarios. I do maintain lots of projects with both, and cmake is always the second citizen, for msvc users only.

Serious users use autotools (with mingw), but the occasional windows noob cannot be helped. So he gets his limited cmake experience. Cmake usually only does a tenth of the autotools probes, edge cases will never be detected and worked around. Such as broken compiler versions, as with gcc or icc frequently.
Cmake is a visual basic like hack, but Visual Basic at least had a proper design. Just lacked the library infrastructure.

Everybody uses autotools, show me a cmake-based distro.

All this autotools bashing is hilarious. Probing is costly yes, but you only do it once, and you rarely do it by yourself. Distro packagers do that for you.
Isn’t this an explore/exploit problem? If you have time to recover then do it, if not then better to cash in on a sure thing even if the upside is lower.
> I think people just want the same iPhone they have now, with additional "repairale" property. That is not going to happen. The repairable iPhone will be thicker and less elegant than the non-repairable iPhone (compare iPhone to Fiarphone). And suddenly people are not buying it anymore.

You're going from one extreme to the other. You could for example require Apple to provide access to their spare parts supply chain (replacement batteries, screens, maybe some key ICs that regularly fail, etc.) to independent repair shops. This would greatly increase the repairability and decrease electronics waste. Right now, many repairs aren't possible simply because you can't find parts, or because customs will block your parts from entering the US, or even because Apple has decided that only they can have the tools to pair a new home button with your current device.
RTFA: Bitwarden developers wanted to make the permission optional, but for Firefox access to native applications can't be requested as an optional requirement. Result: they added the new permission as non optional on both and broke both.

If the extension was working without that permission before - as it was - the browsers should have kept running without the permission and asked for it only when needed, IE: in the cases where the native application was running and the user decided to unlock the vault by using biometrics.

That's a fail for both Chrome and Firefox, both of which will disable the extension until the new permission is given.

Bitwarden failed by not considering the wider impact of their choice to change the required permissions knowing that they could have had the feature in Chrome - by using the permission as optional - and not in Firefox, thus not breaking people's usage of it.

Market theory only says that the aggregate effect of market activity is to allocate capital efficiently. The claim is that it does so by broadly rewarding investors whose decisions maximize value creation, encouraging more such decisions in general over the long term.

It does NOT say that any individual investment decision that produces a reward for the investor must necessarily have improved the allocation of capital to maximize value.

Options trading in particular has only indirect market-making effects on how the primary capital allocation market works. The existence of the options market helps the primary market discover efficient allocations (the theory goes). Participating in the options market has a side effect of increasing efficiency, but the way the options market allocates rewards is less connected to the information value that your trades contributed to the market.

There’s an investment product some governments sell called a ‘lottery bond’. People buy the bond, then periodically, rather than every bond being redeemed for a small premium over its value, one randomly selected bond is redeemed for a much higher value.

As a thanks for participating in that bond market and letting the government use your capital, instead of a predictable investment return the government offers a chance of a life changing lottery win.

This isn’t better or worse than a traditional bond offering, it just offers a different strategy for allocating the rewards for investing some capital in that government.

The person who wins a lottery bond didn’t do anything better or different than a lottery bond loser - both of them contributed the same value to the market in terms of increasing capital allocation efficiency. But the rewards were distributed unevenly - which is by design and both of them knew that going in.

Options traders take the same deal. Playing the game has the chance of winning big; participating in the game has a side effect of producing value. And the way the rewards are allocated for playing... don’t matter too much.
People making first steps to building a commune. Yet they seem naive, like they haven't read about other communities. There's a lack of vision about priorities or shared values.

Anyway, I can relate - we moved out of the city to raise our children, and never moved back. There's a pump in the yard, an old cattle shed for storage, 80 acres of wandering paths among the bird-planted cedar trees and dogwood. A sometimes-creek wandering down the center of everything. Critters everywhere. A shop where things get repair or built.

And a basement computer lab where I do my remote consulting. Which funds the whole lifestyle.
Sure, but only the english subtitle, and you can’t disable it. For Chromecast, you have to use the burned-in subtitles.

I'm not a hard core libertarian to argue about whether banning drugs is good, but even in your scenario customers having information about what is the "medication" made of and any addictive properties those things might have would go a long way. And lets not pretend that whether a drug is legal (alcohol, tobacco, even marijuana somewhere) or not is result of rational process and not just result of lobbying and historical custom.
Yes, although a significant issue with that is there is no spinning mass to "borrow" inertia from, so while modern inverters at solar sites are good at shaping output phases, they have very little capability to absorb significant frequency deviations.

Grid scale battery systems are often used for voltage or frequency stability as opposed to deep discharging as generation offsets, although that will change eventually if batteries get better enough or really cheap LNG stops being a thing.
TWEET 1/7: It's ironic that the way Twitter proposes to improve its platform for writers is to move them off Twitter proper.

TWEET 2/7: Writers use Twitter begrudgingly because that's where the eyeballs are, but it is a terrible communications platform for any writing longer than a single tweet.

TWEET 3/7: Microblogging is core to its brand, but I shudder whenever I see a thread marked 1 of 22. Because of the character limitation, the writing on Twitter has a wooden cadence.

TWEET 4/7: The best thing Twitter could do for writers is give them some way to go beyond the standard character limit within the core platform.

TWEET 5/7: The limit doesn't need to be lifted entirely; maybe anything beyond the limit can be hidden by default, but with an option to reveal it.

TWEET 6/7: Restricting how writers write can sometimes encourage better writing. But Twitter is one of the largest communications platforms in the world, and it's got to reckon with that.

TWEET 7/7: Imagine if, instead of a char limit, you could only write rhyming couplets! It would be fun as a niche site, but not as a site used to communicate breaking news and longer, more thoughtful writing.

COUPLET 1/1: Twitter's a major communications hub, like it or not. Its restrictions on writing are a big blind spot.
I get the stellar opposite reaction. One look at evolution, the terror of it, the inhumanity, and I'm convinced there is no higher power. At least none a human being should pray to.
It seems to me that this precedent potentially kills off a big chunk of the ad-supported app economy.

How are investors reacting to this?
So, summarizing:

pfSense: an established product. Supports kernel level wireguard and easy adblock through plugins. Easy upgrades. Not that great web UI but does its job. Shady OSS practices.

opnSense: no kernel level wireguard yet, but might be coming soon. No good adblocker plugin available. Easy upgrades. Great UI. Better OSS practices at least for now.

OpenWRT: supports kernel level wireguard. Supports LXD so you can install pihole. Good UI. More focused for market routers, meaning an x86 installation and upgrades mean flashing and reinstalling all extra packages.

Edit: seems like recent versions if opnSense handle DNS level adblocking quite well. I might give it a try tonight.

Quite the opposite. Autotools are wonderful for devs. I would never start a new project with cmake or bazel or ninja.

Either autotools for the quality projects, or makefile projects for header-only like projects. Cmake is faster, but extremely limited.
Yes, that clearly needs to be addressed.
Why would they do that? BEVs are the future, you can make more money by selling them electricity than by clinging to gas for a few more years.
I think there is an unspoken part to "reduce consumption", "without decreasing the comfort of living". Decreasing individuals' buying power is about as good a solution to consumption as "don't give people enough food to feed their kids" is to overpopulation.

> Is there proof of this for tiny devices with tons of integrated chips and processors requiring specialized equipment and knowledge to fix?

Well, you could say that when a device breaks, it will either get discarded or repaired, so repairability can only be a net positive. It's debatable whether repairability will actually prolong the lifespan for things like headphones, where everything is tiny and will wear down eventually, and monitors, where most of the money goes into an irreparable LCD panel anyway.

I'm convinced, though, that phones and notebooks are expensive and "modular" enough that repairs with proper replacement part availability would be cost-effective.
